I do think that there continues to be a need for more conversation about plastic and its 'value'. It seems like Pete assumes a few things that might or might not be realistic. One is that plastic is going to continue to be produced in huge quantities no matter what any of us does. I agree to a point but I also believe that it is our obligation as 'stewards' of the Earth to develop standards of processes for our society that are the 'best possible practices' that we know about. Is producing plastic one of them? He also seems to assume that if the public is given that information about how easy it is to recycle plastic then everyone will get on the 'bandwagon'. I believe this will require a tremendous amount of PR with many, many examples of positive reinforcement for recycling to become a mainstream behavior. Don't get me wrong, I am going to do it and teach my family to do it but getting millions of people to be as committed will take time. I am also going to tweet this blog and put it on my own blog and send it to a few people by email also. This personal testimony I have found to be very powerful. I hope YOU do also.

And something to recognize in its danger is the smallest particles of plastic, that go to the bottom of the food chain and send toxicity upwards. That is why recycling everything is so important, and not letting any bit just go into waterways crucial. Thanks for letting everyone know to recycle. I do believe nanotechnology will be able to sequester all the free plastics from water and dumps soon though, cheers!

I learned so much. I was thinking about paper , vs plastic bag and the benefit to the environment. Now I feel I can make a better informed choice. Thanks! Wow! I learned so much.

This gives some balance to what I am hearing in the mainstream media. I actually read this a few days ago and I want you to know that because of this article, there is a large contaier of plactic bags in my wash room that is going back to my local Kroger store to be recycled! Thank you for your information - I intend to send this link to my friends. This is excellent information, especially what Pete has to say about recycling plastic.
